The 14th International Conference on COMmunication Systems and NETworkS (COMSNETS)
will be held in Bangalore (Hybrid Conference), India, during January 3 – 9, 2022. COMSNETS is a
premier international conference dedicated to advances in Networking and Communication Systems.
The conference will include a highly selective technical program consisting of submitted papers, a small
set of invited papers on important and timely topics from well-known leaders in the field, and poster and
demo sessions of work in progress. Additionally, focused workshops and panel discussions will be held on
emerging topics to allow for a lively exchange of ideas. International business and government leaders
will be invited to share their perspectives and will complement the technical program.

Topics of Interest
The topics of interest for the technical program include (but are not limited to) the following:
5G and wireless broadband networks
Technologies for 6-100 GHz spectrum
Edge and fog computing/networking
Studies on testbeds and large scale experimental platforms
Long-range/Low-power wide-area wireless networking
Connected unmanned aerial/terrestrial/underwater systems
CubeSats / Satellite Networking
WLAN, RFID and NFC
Visible light communications
Heterogeneous networks (HetNets)
Cognitive radio & white-space networking
Economics of networks
Energy-efficient communications
Cloud computing
Enterprise, data center, & storage-area networks
Internet architecture and protocols, Internet science & emergent behavior
Mobility and location management
Mobile sensing
Traffic analysis and engineering
Internet of Things (IoT)
Caching & content delivery systems
Information/Content centric networks (ICN)

Experience Papers
In addition to research papers, COMSNETS is also interested in Experience papers that present the details and
insights from real-life testbeds and/or large scale experimental platforms around the research topics mentioned
above. Such papers should provide detailed insights into (1) building the testbeds/platforms, (2) lessons that
are impractical in a research setup, and (3) implications for further research in the relevant domain. Experience
papers shall follow the same submission process as the research papers with an “Experience:” prefix in the
title.

Papers submitted to the main conference should be prepared in standard IEEE conference format and should
contain no more than eight pages of technical content, plus one page of references.
We will follow a singleblind review policy. Please check the conference website for more details.

Selected best papers from COMSNETS 2022 will be invited for submission of their significant extended
versions in a special issue of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks journal (2019 I.F. 3.643)

COMSNETS provides generous travel grants to International student applicants who have an accepted paper
in the conference. Please see the home page for details.
